Bambi, the classic 1942 David Hand Walt Disney animated animation cartoon family animal deer melodrama ("Walt Disney's new full-length feature"; "Something New from Walt Disney"; "The famous, best-selling book-of-the-month now on the screen!"; "Laugh as you learn how love makes folks 'Twitterpated!'. Thrill to the adventures of the young prince of the forest and his buddies, Flower and Thumper!

As Disney's wizardry brings to exciting life one of the most absorbing novels ever written!"; "A Great Love Story"; "Overflowing with enchantment! Bursting with music! Buzzin' with fun!"; "From Felix Salten's Book-of-the-Month best Seller"; "Twitterpated? A wise old owl talks about love!"; "If you're walking on air because she looks at you 'that' way... When your head's in the clouds because your heart's in a whirl... And you can't eat, can't sleep, can't think because the love bug's got you... Brother you're twitterpated and when you're 'twitterpated' you're sunk!..."; "For the first time a great Walt Disney from a best-selling book"; "If you've ever been in love.... this is the show you'll love! For there's never been such fun in films as the twitterpated scenes showing just what happens to you... and you, too... when romance gets you 'that way!' Bring your sweetheart - young or old! - It's better than sending a Valentine!"; "'Twitterpated', says the Owl, is what love makes you. And how you'll howl when Bambi and his buddies, Thumper and Flower, get that way"; "The greatest thrill scene ever filmed ...when a giant forest leaps to flame as thousands of animals flee in terror!

Important Added Info: This is a really great pressbook that we have never had before. It measures a massive 13 1/2" x 20 1/4", and it contains 41 pages, plus a tipped-in herald! The interior part of the pressbook contains lots of great illustrated stories, plus sections on music hall campaigns, ads, publicity, and features. See our images to get a sense of just how nice this pressbook is! Note that this pressbook (along with 14 others) comes from the remarkable collection described below. The 15 pressbooks include ones from both Disney shorts and Disney features from the very late 1930s and the early 1940s. All of them are incredibly rare and are almost never offered for sale (to give you a sense of how incredibly rare they are, we at eMoviePoster.com have only previously auctioned three of them). More remarkably, all of the 15 are complete and uncut and most are in wonderful condition. It will surely be a long time before even a few of these are offered at auction again! Note that this item, along with many others, has a wonderful provenance! It comes from a remarkable collection of original 1940s Walt Disney pressbooks, mini lobby cards, and standees that just surfaced! Not only are all of these items extremely rare ones that are hardly ever auctioned, but they almost all are in really nice condition. The origin of these items is even more fascinating. Our consignor attended these movies as a young boy (he is currently over 80!), and a kindly theater owner gave him these items, and he has carefully preserved them all these many years, until now, when he has consigned them directly to us! We previously auctioned the original stills he had in our auction in May of 2016, and now we are auctioning the rest of his items. This is an incredibly rare opportunity to obtain some of the finest Disney pressbooks, mini lobby cards, and standees we have ever seen, and all of them will have new owners when these auctions close, because all start at $1 with no reserve. In addition to the items from this man's collection (saved from when it was a little boy over 70 years ago!), we also gathered together lots of other rare animation related movie paper items of all types, and together this is a wonderful offering of movie animation items! Many of these items will likely not be auctioned again for many years to come! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut!

Condition: very good, NO CUTS. This large pressbook (13 1/2" x 20 1/4") is complete and uncut and was never folded across the middle, which is a big plus, because most of these large pressbooks WERE folded across the middle (so they would fit with posters or lobby cards). There are many smudges on the back cover (which shows the two 24-sheets) and some creases in the corners, but otherwise, the pressbook is in pretty nice condition!
